ESTA enquiry

V-S-210

I went to America last year and completed the ESTA form and am going again in a month's time; however, I've lost my original ESTA number. Should I re-submit my details on the ESTA site or is there a way I can contact the Embassy and see if they can retrieve my details?

Go to the ESTA website and there is a way to retrieve your previous approved application. I just did it the other day and it worked fine - you just need to input your name, date of birth and passport number.

You don't need your ESTA number or a copy of it. It is held electronically and is valid for 2 years or until the passport expires.

Thanks both, really appreciate your assistance! I'm going to go on the site now just to double check it's still valid (I can't see any reason why it shouldn't)!!

I've checked my details and this time round I'm travelling on a different airline and going to two different parts of the US, should I resubmit my application?

just update any info that it allows you to update, personally i dont think there is much you can update.

Only the details marked with a red * are mandatory, the rest are optional.

I used to change my flight and accommodation details when the ESTA first came out, but I haven't bothered for ages and it's never been a problem.

yes you may as well update it as you never know when youll get a jobsworth at immigration.

I have travelled to the US every couple of months for several years, and not changed my ESTA details at all not had any problems
